No we don't, no one is wasting PCIe lanes for a bunch of external ports, and Motherboard manufacturers already pack it plenty full as much as they can without it.
We want cheap hardware and more than 16 lanes on affordable CPUs again.
Feels like the damn 90s with these AI inflated component prices.
I don't want a single displayport on my motherboard. But I do want a couple more USB-C, though i'd rather have them on the case so that makes it a case maker issue
I have an obscure one that'd be nice RCA jacks for audio, fuck 3.5mm
Uh, no? I would like to keep the PS2 port, thanks. And the extra ethernet port. And they should add VGA, DVI, and RS232 serial ports.
I'd want the ps/2 port but one of the cats chewed through the mouse wire. Ugh.....
See? Rookie mistake. Should have used a dog cable.
The "what we want" version would require some pretty severe fuckery on the main board, like a secondary chipset or a CPU with even more PCIe lanes, but I don't disagree with the "want" part!
On that note, you might as well just use hubs, which you can then potentially place more conveniently anyways.
Displayport can daisy-chain.
TIL
Doesn't that limit things like resolution/refresh?
The igpu isn't going to keep up with that much credibly anyway.
I'd prefer more USBC. Less display port (I use USBC for that)
4 display outputs for onboard graphics? Why lol. I'll take the dual ethernet ports.
You can't kill the ps/2 port and not be called a genocider.
gotta live with the times man, we're up to ps5 pro now
Excuse me? You lost a network port, and a PS/2 port. And we need to fight for more DisplayPort in the world.
Also, just make everything USB-C and give me 100 of them
What's the advantage of DP over HDMI? I see the ports more frequently these days but rarely see monitors that take direct DP input... Mostly HDMI.
I keep having to buy DP->HDMI converters
Mostly HDMI
That is because of lobbying. The reality is that HDMI has loyalties and isn't a free standard like display port is. Display port is also superior technologically: it is compatible with usb-c (thunderbolt), supports higher framerate, and has higher quality (up to 16K).
isn’t a free standard like display port is.
Ah, that's all you had to say - I'm sold.
I was expecting a lot of technical AV geekery that doesn't really apply to me but that bit speaks to me. I'm a simpleton. If it displays a terminal, an IDE, and a browser then it's probably fine for me.
Thanks!
DP is an open standard, HDMI is proprietary and licensed. That's the biggest difference.

That's all I needed to hear. Count me in.
Thanks for the info!
I feel like computer monitors DP is pretty common, but I also specifically try to get them. DP is pretty rare on TVs. They're functionally the same technologies, but most TVs won't include DP.
I’d settle for affordable components at this point.
Please sir, may I have some RAM?
